Don't see us getting that many 3-4 permanent and 2-3 loans unless players leave like Winchester and Eisa. Decent full backs and a powerful forward like Akinde should be our priority. Would love us to announce Alcock next.

I think the 9 would be including Winchester as he's obviously not on that signed up list above. If Winchester signs we'd need about 8 more. We need at least 3 full backs, 4 midfielders and a striker, imo.

Given we can only play two full backs at a time, we ain't going to get two decent league 2 standard right backs and two decent league 2 standard left backs. So rather than 4 players, I'd be very happy with three, some or all of which can play both sides. Plus Mullins and Dawson to cover.

I don't think there has been a single loan signing in league two at this point, those will probably happen early July when teams report back for pre-season training. Hopefully we can make another two permanent signings first (powerful striker and right back).

Add in the French lad and that makes 19, and then I'd have thought we're looking at a couple of loans and a couple more permanent. Or maybe all permanent depending on how much of the Mo money goes into the budget.
